A surprisingly useful lesson from the library in São Paulo

I tried this in Jakarta with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. It sounds small, but the conversation matters.
